Uses of Day Care Center Financing

Purchase an existing day care property with an operating business and active enrollment.
Refinance current mortgage debt.
Renovations such as upgrading classrooms and outdoor play areas, or enhancing safety systems to meet regulatory standards or increase licensed capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do lenders consider enrollment history for daycare loans?
Yes. Lenders will look at how full your center is and how stable that enrollment has been over time.
Can day care center loans include playground or safety upgrades?
Yes. The funds can be used for:
- playground installation or replacement
- impact surfacing, fencing
- gated access
- security cameras and entry controls
- fire alarms, sprinklers
- child-safe flooring
- bathroom upgrades
- classroom reconfiguration to meet code
- HVAC updates
- parking lot, and pickup area improvements
Are startup day care centers eligible for financing?
Yes. But most startup deals have to begin with short-term financing. You can then refinance into a long-term loan once your enrollment and revenue stabilize.
Can financing be used to build a new day care facility?
Yes. Lenders like Private Capital investors are open to funding ground-up construction. But expect the loan to be released in stages as the project progresses.
